Semi-Permanent Brow Enhancement. Create naturally fuller, perfectly shaped brows with semi-permanent microblading. This customized treatment enhances your natural features with realistic, hair-like strokes designed to complement your face and lifestyle.
Create Brow Envy with Microblading
Want to spend less time applying makeup but feel nervous about permanent tattoos? Microblading is an ideal solution for sparse, thinning, over-plucked, or light brows, as well as for anyone experiencing brow loss. Using custom pigment and precise technique, microblading creates natural-looking brows with beautiful shape, balance, and definition.
From a technical standpoint, microblading is a form of cosmetic tattooing, but unlike traditional tattoos, pigment is placed much more superficially and softly into the skin. This allows results to fade naturally over time, giving you flexibility to adjust shape and color as your features change.
The result is incredibly natural-looking brows that enhance your eyes and frame your face with a polished, balanced appearance.
How It Works
The Microblading Process
Round One: Initial Appointment
The microblading process typically takes one hour or more. Your provider begins with detailed facial mapping to ensure symmetry and a custom brow shape designed specifically for your facial structure. A topical numbing cream is applied and allowed to sit for approximately 30 minutes to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
Using a fine handheld blade made of tiny needles, shallow hair-like strokes are created in the skin and pigment is carefully deposited. This portion of the treatment typically takes 15–30 minutes. Once pigment saturation is complete, the brows are cleansed and a topical antibacterial ointment is applied.
Your brows are complete and immediately visible following treatment.
Round Two: Touch-Up Appointment
A retouch appointment is typically performed four to six weeks after the initial session. During healing, some pigment may fade or heal unevenly, which is completely normal. The touch-up allows your provider to reinforce strokes, adjust color, and perfect shape for optimal long-term results.
Healing timelines vary from person to person and may differ slightly.
What to Expect During Healing
Results & Longevity
How Long Will My Results Last?
Microblading results typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and aftercare. Because the treatment is semi-permanent, fading is expected and touch-ups are recommended to maintain shape and color.
Maintaining Beautiful Results
- Follow all aftercare instructions carefully
- Avoid picking, peeling, or scratching the area
- Avoid sun exposure during healing and apply SPF 30+ once healed
- Avoid swimming, tanning beds, and excessive sweating for 10 days
- Do not skip your 4–6 week follow-up appointment

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cosmetic tattooing/microblading nd traditional body tattooing?
The purpose of Cosmetic Tattooing is to enhance the natural features of a client. Cosmetic Tattooing is softer and more subtle – it is meant to be a natural-looking beauty enhancement. Body tattoos use ink while cosmetic tattoo procedures involve only iron-oxide based pigments. These pigments are designed to gently fade over time. Fading is desired as it allows the technician to make changes to color and shape over the years as client’s natural coloration and facial changes occur.
Does microblading and blushing hurt?
A topical anesthetic cream and gel are used for numbing before and during your procedure. Pain threshold levels vary from person to person and every effort is made to ensure you remain comfortable for the entirety of the procedure. For those with low pain tolerance, additional options for managing any discomfort.
How long does it last?
- MICROBLADING 6 – 18 months*
- OMBRE BROWS 2 – 5 years*
- LIP BLUSH TATTOOS 2 – 5 years*
The treatments are considered semi-permanent and will not wash off, however, it will fade over time and regular touchups are required to keep color crisp.
Can old tattoos or microblading be covered up?
In some cases, we can work on previously tattooed eyebrows but not always. Cover-ups depend on the current color, age of the previous tattoo and scar tissue. If the old tattoo has left the skin scarred there is a great chance the Microblading will not hold. Scar tissue tends to reject pigment in a lot of cases. We are happy to review your unique needs during your complimentary consultation.
Can medications or conditions affect how my skin reacts to laser treatment?
YES. Always be upfront and honest with your provider about your medical history and any medications or supplements you are taking. For instance, if you are prone to cold sores or fever blisters, laser treatments may induce breakouts.
Acne medications that contain isotretinoin (i.e., Accutane) can lead to poor healing or scarring from laser resurfacing, while common over-the-counter products like aspirin can increase the risk of post-procedure bleeding.
Common over-the-counter products like aspirin can increase the risk of post-procedure bleeding; other meds can lead to poor healing or scarring after laser treatments
Diabetes and other chronic conditions can also impact safety and results with laser resurfacing. You should also quit smoking at least 2 weeks prior to and after laser treatments to avoid complications with healing and provide your body with the best chance for optimal results.
Am I a good candidate for microblading?
While it’s suitable for most people, there are certain reasons that we can’t treat everyone. Before undergoing treatment, clients are always made aware that certain contraindications can prevent us from proceeding. These include:
- High blood pressure or heart conditions
- Taking blood-thinners such as aspirin or similar medication
- Diabetes
- Pregnant or lactating
- Herpes simplex
- Certain skin conditions e.g. rashes, blisters, psoriasis, or eczema
- Taking steroids such as cortisone, Accutane, Retin-A or Renova
- Allergy to makeup
- Acute acne in the treatment area
- Susceptibility to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Hypertrophic scarring or keloids
- Spider veins or a birthmark in the area they want to be treated
- Blood disorder e.g. sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, or a platelet disorder
For some of the above, we may also ask that you provide written authorization from your doctor before we can proceed.
We hope the above information has given you more of an insight into the possible contraindications relating to microblading and permanent makeup. As we’ve mentioned several times in this post, it really is a good idea to have a chat with your doctor if any of the above conditions apply to you.
